Where can I download Lost, the TV series?

why, what, where, why, what, where, why, what, where, why, what, where, why...thats the whole storyline of lost.

First of all you make it sound as if this is some kind of highly intellectual show and I seem to be the one that's just not getting it.
I'm sorry but Lost is meant to be popcornesque entertainment, or at least it was intended to be. Maybe you feel different about that but i think that is something you personally feel, and doesn't need to be so.

But apart from the fact that it migh or might not be intellectual, I am indeed referring to the fact that at some point in the series the writers didn't have a clue why, what, where, why it all was happening.
Now maybe most of the viewers didn't notice that but I did (long before the writers officially admitted they didn't have a clue anymore).

Indeed there are some answers that are given, but the amount of new mysteries that pop-up was imho very frustrating at some point.

Spoiler: Show

For example in the first series there was a polar bear on the island, we are now at season 4 and there has not been any answer to that question up till now. And this is just one example, but there are a lot more...

Spoiler: Show

At a certain point a guy with a patch on one eye appears in the series, he dies when crossing the fence and a few episodes later he pops back up and kills Charlie without any explanation how that is possible. I'm sorry but I don't like that kind of twists in a story.

All the answers will come. Of this I am certain and to give them to us now would render the rest of the story redundant when the show strives from strength to strength.

I hope you are right but I don't think you are in a position to guarantee that fact, or you must be some guy that can put pressure on the writers/producers .

More to follow.

Looking forward to it.

Nobody said you were stupid, mate. I'm quite sure you're intellectually equipped to view the show on whichever level you chose to watch it. Popcorn and highbrow drama are not mutually exclusive. I think Lost has proven this. Just to browse some of the speculative forums scattered around the interweb is testament to the density involved with the show.

The show has encountered some practicality issues, no doubt but given the nature of TV, these, I think were unavoidable.

Spoiler: Show

By this I'm more referring to the direction/obligations of some of the cast. Mr Eko was originally conceived to have much larger role to play in the overall narrative but the actor (I won't even attempt to spell his name) answered to the call of Hollywood so a lot of script-shuffling just had to happen. The same is true with Rousseau. She simply asked to be written out. Depriving us of our much anticipated and promised flash-back. that, I'll admit pisses me off no end.

Spoiler: Show

As Barbs has said, if you look hard enough you'll get the answers to a lot of questions. Granted, blink and you'll miss them but they're there nonetheless.

It has been heavily suggested that the Polar Bear was part of DHARMA experimentation centre called The Hydra where Kate, Jack and Sawyer are held during the first half of season 3.

When Mickael seemingly returns from the dead in The Man Behind The Curtain, Ben says 'I thought you were dead' to which he replies, 'Fortunately the fence was not set to a lethal level'

As far as getting the questions answered appropriately and putting pressure on the writers is concerned, I don't need to. I've got about 5 million Lost geeks on the internet to do that for me. The writers are very receptive to the fans. More so than any show I've ever seen. They know that unless they satisfy the audience, they'll have a fucking nerd-quake on their hands. They'll have to take their families into hiding if they don't deliver. We'll have this conversation again in 2010 and we'll be in a better position to argue about it.

I'll make sure I'm here at the back of eight to see how it pans out.

I'm swithering between Chalice's "it's genious" position and the equally compelling Disme's "load of shite" stance.

Fuck sake, just watch it.

I've got dishes to do before Mrs JP gets in. Too much time fannying about with you on the internebs today.

Thank fuck I went for a haircut (No 4) or I'd be in real trouble.

Although I like your description of our discussion I don't think it's a complete 'load of shite'. It's actually quite good but it also needs a terrible end to make it worth while watching for all those years.

It's like Chalice said...just watch it and than you can discuss it with us.

[JPaul]

I was just distilling the discussion to it's essential element.

I'll get back to you for the discussion when I've watched 60 hours of television.

@challice: when you've got 5 mins spare, please make a DVD for me, "the best of lost"

cut out all the hours n hours n hours of pointless crap just leave the important facts of the whole 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th series so far k'thnx.

[Barbarossa]

I'd be interested in watching an edited version without all the flashbacks, tbh :sacrilege:

For all you Attention Span Deficit Disorderlys, here's the abridged version.

For those who actually want to watch the show from the start, I'd give this vid a wide berth If I were you.
